Thanks for all the input, guys. I had an email offer of some local professional pro bono help if I need it. Thanks, again, Chris.

I stopped by the shop that originally did the rebuild and he showed me how he gets the carrier out, so now I have a number of ways to try. However, he doesn't seem to think it's a wheel bearing issue. He thinks I might have overloaded the pinions. We'll see...

I'm fine with a service life of 50K miles on the greens. They'll last longer than I will.
